The first three episodes of Umineko absolutely have the sauce that everyone says they do. They're extremely interesting. I've never played another game like this one. So it's a real shame that I can't recommend "Umineko". EP 1-3 are excellent, but the editor died some time between EP3 and EP5 and you can absolutely tell.

One of the most complex and detailed murder mystery games ever made. If you have a lot of time to spare this is an incredible experience that will make you angry, sad and happy but usually absolutely flabbergasted at what creative ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ the writer manages to pull while still making the story cohesive and compelling. If you like mystery this is THE game to play. Mastahpiece
